going to waitrose

iammumtoone

There isn't a waitrose near me (the town I live in isn't' posh enough :rotfl:). Nearest one is 20 miles away. That says a lot about where I live

We are going to a town that has one to visit an attraction and whilst I am there thought I would treat myself and pop in.

Can anyone recommend the best value/nicest things to buy, I don't mind spending a bit more than normal as it a treat for us.

I believe they sell organic frozen veg? I will stock up on that. If I remember they also sell non homogenised milk.

Their strawberries are out of this world! They actually taste like stawberries.

Buy some of their bags for life. Then you can use them for all your shopping and be the envy of your neighbours. Make sure you are out of the house for long enough to convince them you've shopped out of town!

Go after 4pm - that's when the reductions down to 25% of original value start. Or at least that was the time it started when I worked there 13+ years ago.

Get a Waitrose card so you can have a free coffee (if you want to drink in the in store cafe you have to buy a cake/pastry, my local Waitrose has tables outside for cheapskates like me). You might even be able to sign up to the loyalty offer which gives you a discount on I think it's 10 items that you can select.

Def go for a Wiatrose card for the discounts on some items, they only let you pick from a prepared list but if you like an item on the list why not get the discount?

I would agree with the above.

Their meat is great quality in general. I also really like their fish and seafood. Check out their deals. Their essentials range is also very good quality across a range of products. If you get a waitrose card you can pick ten items from a long list that gets you 20% off every time you buy them. You can change the items every few months

my naughty treat is waitrose essentials profiteroles.

My Waitrose indulgence is a vegetable Taiko sushi for £2.60

They do the best vege sushi (now that Marks and Pret have stopped doing them)

Had some good deals on the booze as well.
It might be worth checking your usual branded items on mysupermarket as sometimes they can be cheaper than the others if on offer.

Clear offs, we can not have any town riffraff coming into w8rs, drinking free tea and grabbing free newspapers. Get back to Lidl!
